George Papadopoulos Says He Knows Identity of Spy in Trump Campaign

George Papadopoulos, former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump during the 2016 election campaign, claimed Sunday that he knows the identity of a spy.

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI about his communications with a Russia-linked professor on dirt on Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. A judge sentenced him to 14 days behind bars, but since then, he has alleged that the circumstances surrounding his plea weren’t on the up-and-up.

He and his wife Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos have churned out social media posts casting aspersions on Department of Justice officials, the Obamaadministration, Trump dossier author Christopher Steele, Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, and others.

Papadopoulos has taken to claiming that he got set-up. He said Friday that he might withdraw from his plea deal, and he claimed that the government performed committed some misconduct.

I never, ever heard of anybody doing such a thing. Is your "Italian" wife with the Eastern European accent trying to get you sent to the federal pen for the rest of your life?! Be my guest.

“I made a dreadful mistake. I am a good man,” Papadopoulos said, adding, “I am ready to accept my sentence.”

Has Pap served his 14 days - can't find either way....
